In 2021, Bristol Motor Speedway is set to be re-branded as a temporary dirt track. March 28, 2021 will see the first NASCAR Cup Series race on the dirt in 50 years. However, the week leading up to that event will give the stars of the dirt world a place to shine.
View the Bristol Dirt Nationals schedule below.
Super late models were the first class announced for the special event. They’ll run on Friday and Saturday night. Saturday’s finale will offer a $50,000 to win payout for the 50-lap super late model main event.
Other classes: Modifieds, Sport Mods, Stock Cars, 602 and 604 Late Models (crate engine packages), Hornets (compacts) and Open Modifieds. Due to pit space considerations, all supporting divisions will be limited to 150 entries per class. The Super Late Models will not have an entry cap.
